Someone once asked...

I'm old and realized that I wasted my life. I thought I was a decent person, but on a lot of levels I was pretty bad. It's all becoming obvious now and it's a little overwhelming. I'm not sure how to move forward.

Someone answered with kindness...

You are experiencing a second maturation. You already know how it goes, just need to accept it. I wish we could do that more often, not just a couple times in life.

Another soul answered...

I assume you never woke up and looked into the mirror and said: I am going to be bad today. You gave your best with what you where given. What does a life not wasted even look? What can you do today that makes your life feel a bit less "wasted"? Do it. The best time to start something is in the past, the second best time is now. This applies for not wasting your life and being a decent person.
